the brief history

Lebanon (Zip Code 65536) is one of the cities from Missouri State, Laclede County. The city is quite

small within 14.7 sqm with around 14700 Population (2000 Census). The City originally named Wyota, but it

was renamed due to respect to the minister Lebanon, Tennessee. The City development started in 1800s and it

is very related with the railway. Although, the writer will more focus on the relations between the City and Route

66 as part of the historic and iconic of Americans.

Route 66, probably is the one thing that never

detached to the City that goes along the journeys.

From Illinois to California, probably the City that

always be a transit place is Lebanon. As it stated in

the website of Lebanon (n.d: lebanonmissouri.org) “A

road has always run through Lebanon” means that

there will always be peoples (Route 66 Travellers and

Interstate Road) who stop by either to have a fresh

sleep or seeking for another experience.

In some way, The City of Lebanon itself has

quite small area within a quite huge needs and

desire. The question is, how do they act as a

‘pitstop’ for travellers while at the same time they

have to accommodate the natives itself? This issue

will be discussed in the next article and includes the

writer’s analysis. Hopefully this information gives a

clear description of the city and how it relates to

bigger context.

CITY & DESIRE

WALKING OR DRIVING?

Probably it is a common issue that mobility is an important role of the city. Mobility is a vein for the City as it activates the city.Mobility can be achieved through Walking, Driving, Public Transportations and etc, but the site itself should accommodate the runs of transportation such as Street, Main Road, Interstate, and for bigger context is a City Layout itself. In this case, refer to the City Layout of Lebanon. The Layout of the City consists of grids, which is artificial layout for the City. (refer to city grid)

The ‘fun fact’ of Lebanon is they don’t have a public transportation. Or probably they have one but it is not official from the City Council. Based on direct observation, there is no indication of Bus Stops, or Bus Way around the City. On the other hand, based on data (n.d ;city-data.com) ‘Modes Of Transportation To Work’ the most preferred mode is ‘driving by car alone’ with the number of 9897 Population (53%) and compared to least preferred mode ‘walk’ which only 293 Population (2%) from the whole Population. (refer to chart)

So, the early conclusion will tell that the desire of the city itself is to use car everywhere.

To analyze this type of behavior, the writer focus on the particular element which is S Jefferson Avenue. The reason why the writer picks this spot is because it is the commercial area for the City. It has most services that the city needed. This street is also considered as the busiest part of the City. It intersects with Route 66/I-44 and as main road to enter the City from Route 66. Thus, one of the unique issue is the area has lots of Car Parks which the writer believes that it has the relation with the desire of the City. (refer to Particular Place)

Based on the calculation, the percentage between

the Parking Spaces and the footprint of the

building is between 65% by 35%, which is quite

significant. (refer to Parking Space Map)

Within the large Parking Space, I think it is not

really hard to get into the particular building

because it can be easily accessed and it has

appropriate dimensions. Even though not much

people will perform walking to transport to other

buildings, but the dimensions of pedestrian walks

are still appropriate and easy to access. (refer to

street sections)

So, it is clearly described that the large amount of Parking Spaces are to accommodate the most p r e f e r r e d m o d e s o f transportation, but in the same way it’s not limiting the p e o p l e w h o k e e n t o perform walking to other places.

RELATIONS BETWEEN CARPARKS, BUILDING, STREET, PEOPLE WALKABILITY

The relations between the Parking Space, Building, Streets, Pedestrian and The Users itself are about the appropriate walkability. The diagram shows the walkability system between the aspects of the streets.

The Lane is different from Australia (left) while

American Country is usually right. It is quite easy

to make a turn between streets because the

dimension is really appropriate for 2 cars each

lane. The dimension of S Jefferson Street is about

20 meters and the W Hayes Street is the half of

main street which is 10 meters. It is equipped with

4 traffic lights in the intersection for safety concern

and more controlled traffic.

The area of the building include parking lots are

has own entrance and exit. Cars from each lane

can go to the entrance very easily and can go out

of the building area within the separated exit.

Special for area 3, you have to go to W Hayes

Street (turn right) first then the area could be

accessed through the small path after. Although,

there are some parking lots doesn't have exit

(area 2 & 5) and have to exit through the same

space for entrance, which can cause a bit jam.

The pedestrian walks are appropriate to use.

Within the right dimension for pedestrian walk

along S Jefferson Avenue (2 meters) and slightly

bigger in W Hayes Street (5 meters) which is quite

easy to just walk along it. The traffic lights are

made people easier to get across the street so the

mobility to transfer within places by walking is

possible.

SURVIVAL TIPS

The only Airport in Lebanon is Floyd

W Jones Airport. Prior your arrival,

please find available Taxi, ask the

driver to drive you to W Elm Street

(which most hotels available there and

closest road to S Jefferson Avenue)

1. Some Bus will go directly to S

Jefferson Avenue. If that is the case,

you already there :)

2. If you drive your own car and going

to Illinois, W Elm Street is located just

after Lebanon First Assembly

California, the S Jefferson Avenue

located just after Missouri Eagle Llc

Building. Just simply make your way

out from Highway.

Arrive by Land Transportation

(Bus or Car)

Although the most preferred modes of

transportation is by car, if you keen to

walk through the city please feel free

to do it because the dimension of

pedestrian walk and the relationship

between buildings are appropriate for

the people to walk.

SERVICES AVAILABLE INCONCLUSION

Lebanon Missouri, as an Independent

City is successful in terms of layout and

the relations between each elements of

the City especially Streets, Buildings and

Parking Lots. This condition makes the

people, with any kinds of desires either

walking or driving is appropriate to be

performed within the city. It is just the

matter of time because I believe the

desire will be changed along with the

development of the City itself.

As I stated before about the changing of

desire, if the City keen to expand the

Business amongst other American city,

which means they have to develop more

buildings on Commercial Area (S

Jefferson Ave & surroundings) which will

led to the decreasing of Parking Spaces

(which accommodates the car). The

solution could be developing an official

publ ic transportat ion, bui ld a

basement parking for each building

and/or a large public parking space

within that area. The consequences of

not balancing the needs of transportation

and building development will be a major

traffic issue and it is not impossible to

destroy the rights of pedestrian.

In terms of Servicing, I believe that what

Lebanon provides especially to Travelers

or people outside Lebanon is quite

various in S Jefferson Avenue. It is

complete and helping traveler to

recharge their needs. It is easy to locate

and accessible from Route 66 &

Interstate 44.

"Make plans now to visit fun and friendly Lebanon Missouri. Float the Niangua River. Fish for rainbow trout Bennett Springs State Park. Get your kicks on Route 66. Friendly People, friendly place. No matter when you arrive or how long you stay, you'll be glad you came. Begin your trip to Lebanon Missouri."
